It's all good Darwin. We're all still here for ya. Keep on keepin' on.
Appreciate Ya!
No explanation required. Everyone has the opportunity to alter their course, change their mind or just hang it up. Welcome back...
Your PCT series was instrumental in helping me cope with a divorce and difficult transition several years back. You are great at content creation and sharing your knowledge and experiences. I’m glad you’re pursuing projects that stir your passion and that you can share your skills on this medium.
Authenticity shines brighter than anything else. I’m so glad you took time away to prioritize the things that needed your attention most. Grateful that you’re back on your own terms. ✌️
You are one of a handful of people responsible for opening up my eyes to the whole hiking world!!! Everyone needs a break to step back and reset. I definitely understood and I am thrilled that you are back. Good luck and can't wait for the new content!! 👍🏻👍🏻
You do you. If it makes you happy, do it. You'll likely always have an audience of some kind. I know I always look forward to your content. Please continue the deeper dives and intimate conversations. Push the boundaries and status quo. Your authenticity is appreciated. ☮️❤️🤝
The people that matter are glad you’re back. We got you dude, always.
That’s is about the most ignorant thing I’ll hear someone say today. Give him a big wet kiss now will ya.
I'm glad you're back, it was generous of you to explain your thought process and feelings to us. I enjoy behind-the-scenes types of videos and showing us the process of making content. Hiker towns and resupply points are also interesting. Thanks!
Great to see you back. Sorry you were suffering in 2021. Your videos probably helped hundreds of people with their own mental health.
I'd love to hear about your bike trip in the UK. I live in Scotland so loved your video on the TGO
Stay as you are! Do what you want! Always. We are with you. Love to see new videos. Prost from Germany. With Feldschlösschen. 😅
Welcome back, brother! You've inspired thousands to get out and hike. You don't owe us anything. If anything, we owe you our gratitude.
The comments section on this video, as compared to the average comments found on the internet, speaks volumes about your character and the quality of "content" you put out. I believe this to be true whether or not you are actively filtering out spam and negativity.
As to future content, I recommend speaking to your experiences and lessons learned as a business owner and entreprenuer. I think this question of making an honest but independent living drew me to your channel more than anything to do with backpacking or gear.
Best of luck with your business(es) moving forward, I hope the market rewards your efforts and creative mind!
Glad you're back.
Thank you for being raw and real. I totally understand where you are coming from. I am so glad you have changed your mindset and most of al your priorities. Continue to grow, improve and change.
Welcome Back!!! Nothing but love and support. Major props for investing in your marriage/family life. Look forward to new content.
I for one am super stoked you’re back, and please do whatever type of videos you like, I’ll still watch.
welcome back brotha! Got inspired and did one of the big 3 thanks to your vids I started watching forever ago. Now who knows where to go but I'll figure it out. Looking forward to more
Darwin, you have such a spirit, voice, story telling… that I would follow you even if you were talking about kitchenware.
I’m happy to see you back! Some time you just need to take a step back! Happy to see new content! I do like this style of video!!
My feedback: honesty is always best and definitely welcome, especially in the click ecosystem. All I hope is that you can keep that connection with your family and friends stronger than you connect with YT and viewers, and I'll enjoy the content as it comes!
A new Darwin video in my subscriptions!
What a pleasant surprise 🎉
Have been watching you for years. I find your voice comfort food for my brain. Thanks for doing what you do.
Welcome back
Always enjoying your hiking and other outdoor content
So supporting and looking forward to more videos
Welcome back Darwin! Excited to see your new videos!
I just did my first thru hike of Kungsleden north a week ago. Your videos are what inspired me to attempt a thru hike. Thank you and welcome back.
Just happy you are back and we can look forward to seeing all of your travels.
Welcome back! I look forward to seeing your new content as you share your journey with us. Thank you.
I saw it, in your videos. I felt really bad for you but I knew you were at your limit. I wasn’t surprised when you left but we still had your past videos to watch.
You seem sound minded and refreshed. So glad you knew your limits for your health and mental health otherwise you wouldn’t be back Now
So happy you had overcome it all❤
Life is full of seasons. I’m glad you were able to take some time in that season of your life to refresh and renew. Also glad to see you re-inspired to make content again. Much respect for the raw honesty you’ve ALWAYS brought to your videos. Keep it up!
Nice to see you back. I never cared for the bike packing videos, not relevant to me, but I still watched them because I can always learn something new..
I’m just glad to see you again bro.
Stay or go according to whatever reason you have. Never gonna dog you for living your life how you want/need.
Plenty more to come! ❤️
I remember when you were on this break, i saw you in a coffee shop while i was thru hiking the AT. You were so nice to stop and talk to us for like 30min. Im sure you were busy and maybe not in the best head space. But that moment meant a lot. Thank you again, ill always support ya.
CZcams Podcast mashup might be the sweet spot. Integrity is genuine. Love you, Darwin; always have.
Life is… a trail with many forks… some forks end up at differing destinations… others just loop back to the main trail… having had new experiences , new vistas to add to your overall knowledge and understanding.. new things to share with us…
Love you honesty and open reflections. Thank you so much for sharing. Looking forward to 2024.
Everyone needs a pause and do a reset now 'n then. Mental health and family are critical. Glad to see you back. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
Glad you're back. Definitely appreciate your transparent exit from CZcams as well as why you're back. That made me want check out why you're back and to continue following. I watch to learn, be inspired, or be entertained. Having diverse content like you do allows me to pick and choose depending on my mood. So, welcome back and I look forward to what you will post. Thanks.
Right on brother.
Welcome back!! I just spent much of the morning getting my camping gear sorted for a trip in about a week and a half, so seeing you on my screen seemed perfect. Here's hoping your new company is a thriving experience. That shirt looks fantastic.
Welcome back in whatever way you choose. I am getting into Bikepacking and watched some of your prior videos. If you are still doing this I’m interested in gear, planning and unique considerations for that type of trip
I'm glad you are sharing your content again. I do enjoy everything you've done. Looking forward to see where we go next.
I am so glad you’re back. I wish you nothing but the best. Also, it can also be able the money. I think most people understand you need to make a living and if sharing your passion online brings in more resources to support your goals, more power to you. There is no shame in that.
I’m sure I’ve missed more of your videos than I’ve seen, but I appreciate what you’re doing and completely support your decision to make time with your family because family should always be first. I’m glad you’re getting your gear company going and making products you can be proud to stand behind. If I weren’t so old I would love to make my own gear. Good luck with your endeavors and may you find success at every turn.
Hike your own hike... life is complicated... must adapt and push forward in the best way for yourself, your family, and friends. Push on!
You seem like a genuine decent guy, Darwin. Your strengths are also part your flaws and we all can relate to the flaws. I like the new style.
Glad you're back. Love your videos. It never gets old. Welcome back. 😊
Welcome back friend. Looking forward to seeing what you’ll be sharing!
I'd love to hear more about gear recommendations for those of us who are intermittently in the outdoors and/or have to fly to outdoor locations. My considerations are usually viewed through the lenses of price relative to use volume, packability, product lifespan, and things like that. I think there are a lot of us who love the outdoors but don't necessarily have it out our back door. I'd love more content about how plan trips effectively when flying to your destination.
Nice to see your channel active again, cheers!
I love that you made your mental health a priority. Rather you never make another video again, you've made me a better, smarter, and more confident hiker. As far as gear goes I've always trusted your opinion.
Love that you are genuine. Do what is right for you. Tks for sharing.😊
Welcome back!! You.. is the most important thing to you.. your doing it right!!
Welcome back Darwin. I'm following your videos from Finland. I do backbacking in Lapland and North Norway.
Nice to see you back. Looking forward to your content. Glad you and yours are happy.
Hike your own hike....take your own path. ❤
Yay! Glad you're back. You were one of my inspirations to hike my first hike!
Nothing but respect and support for ya. Taking a step back to realign aspects of your life and priorities is a great sign of growth! You can’t easily survive in Flag on $35k, part of why I moved into a van
Welcome back brother! Will always find time for your content, my friend, you're a man of integrity, honesty, dedication and I dub your style, I'm all in!
Love this new model, Darwin! Your podcast was fantastic, so anything that draws on the honesty and authenticity you showed there is going to be incredible. Thanks for sharing.
Yahoo!! Super excited to see you again! Looking forward to more videos, appreciate your honesty. You do seem much refreshed. Onward and upward!!
You keep doing what you're doing, it's all good, looking forward to continue watching as I have over the years.
glad to see you're back. we missed you! looking forward to seeing your adventures again.
Welcome back. I learned about hiking from you. I day hike regularly. Do what makes you happy. Im a sponge and will watch whatever and whenever you post it. Good Wishes.
David from Indiana.
Thx for sharing. Glad you are finding more of a healthy balance. Looking forward to trip videos. Sounds like you’ve been on some awesome trips lately!
Yo! Glad you're back on CZcams. I personally enjoy these more intimate conversational videos and am looking forward to seeing more from you as I'm interested in hearing what you have to share. Cheers dude!
You gotta take care of yourself and your loved ones first. No apologies needed. It’s great to have you back and I look forward to more videos whenever you post them.
I know you've tried bikepacking content, but I think the audience has really grown for that and you should give it another shot.
It was a pleasure meeting you on the PCT yesterday. I hope to someday whittle my gear down from a very full Osprey 65. Happy trails!
Welcome back!!! Glad your back!!
Glad you are back on YT! Nice hearing about your adventures.
Thank you for being so raw and open. You have done a ton of amazing things but have human struggles too. Keeping it real!
Darwin’s back baby!! Can’t wait for new videos good for you for taking time for yourself. Love this kind of video
Glad to see you back, and even more happy you took the break you needed.
Happy to see you again.
Take care mate. Nothing is as important as family. I grabbed a Ranger in the first run. Used it on the Camino this year, love it! I use it all the time, great pack, well done you, Snuggles & the crew.
Much respect to you for being open and honest. I'm very glad you took steps to take care of your mental health and personal life. While it's great to see you back on YT, I would much rather there be a happy and healthy private Darwin than one who is struggling and still putting out content. And yes, I do like the deep conversation style of video. Take care.
You're the realist, Darwin! Thank you for baring your soul.
Glad you're back and feeling better bud. Love from the UK!
Now I'm an even bigger fan, even though I kinda said eff this backpacking thing after my last thru-hike attempt and am now relishing being basic (I even traveled to NYC to participate in a Peloton class). Your video speaks a universal truth - the only constant in life, is change. You owe zero explanation for coming back on your own YT channel. I appreciate that you're not just putting content out there for the sake of putting content out there. I'll be watching whenever you post, and heck - maybe it'll all inspire me to get backpacking again but if not, I know I'll always find value in your videos.
Happy to see you are back. 🎉Even though I totally could understand you needed a break.
Glad to hear you are back. Hey life’s a novel. Your moving into a new chapter. I wish you the best !!
Glad you're back. I met you once in Pine AZ and have always enjoyed your videos.
It’s great to see you again! I can’t wait to keep watching. I am well 😊
Bless yer mate. You're honesty is much appreciated. At the end of the day "Family First, always" Take care from the UK. :)
Good to see you back. I'll be staying tuned to see your new content.
Welcome back Darwin. You're 'evolving' as we all do. The only constant in the universe is change.
Good to see you back!! I'd like to hear you talk about water crossings. How to cross safely, what to do if the water is higher or faster than expected, etc.
Good stuff, I'm glad to see you here! One situation I really would like to figure out and maybe you've had some experience with: what to do about thunderstorms when hiking and there are no motels or vehicles in which to take shelter.
We all have our life’s and everything happens for a reason. You went through yours and came back so hood on you. Nice to see you back. Keep on doing what your meant to do. 😊
Being passionate about what you choose to do and share and being true to yourself is so inspiring. Love your content, your journey, and you! I'm a forever fan 🤩
Glad to see you are back. I enjoyed this style of video, looking forward to more.
Welcome back; all good-no need for explanation, wishing the best for you. Welcome to mountaineering! I have a circle of partners, down “the hill” in Phoenix, planning mountaineering projects; hit me up if you’re looking to join “locals” on some trips. We also get together for skill refreshers like snow camping on lower Humphreys (sometimes on our own and sometimes through the Arizona Mountaineering Club) and crevasse rescue practice.
Welcome back! I’m looking forward to your videos, however frequent they may be.
Thanks for putting this together, Darwin! I look to you as something of a role model for my own channel, and I appreciate the honesty - it’s reassuring to know that we all have periods where the creative spark isn’t quite as bright.
Everyone struggles. Both Creatively & in Life. Thanks for the kind words! ❤️
I naturally gravitated back to your channel after thinking about you and your bike packing content.
It’s always good to see you here. And when I don’t I know you’re out doing cool shit and happy about that too. I like when you went live on instagram. This video feels like that and I’m here for this too.
You do what makes you happy❤ I am super glad you are back
Happy your keeping it real Darwin. I’m still here so love it keep them coming.
Best of luck in your personal development and your life's journey Darwin. I,for one,don't think you need to apologize to anyone.
Stoked to see you’re back! I’ve enjoyed the podcast in the meantime. I’d love to see more bikepacking content as well!
I am just glad you are back no matter what the frequency is. I appreciate your honest and in depth content. ATB hike on
